About this map

Kisatchie National Forest dominates this 1937 landscape, where the wooded uplands of Central Louisiana meet a complex network of bayous and branches. The settlement of Gorum serves as a central hub, connected by a winding series of state highways to smaller locales like Sampusand and Janie. This survey, produced by the Board of State Engineers, captures the rural character of the era, marked by isolated institutions such as the Emanuel Sch and Mora Ch. Genealogists will find particular value in the placement of the Bolton Cem and the numerous family-named topographical features. The terrain is defined by low-lying wetlands and ridges, including the Hale Brake swamp and Chopin Camp Ridge, while the boundary between Natchitoches Parish and Rapides Parish cuts through the southern portion of the quadrangle, illustrating the jurisdictional lines of the late 1930s.
